Windshield wipers or speed cameras? These are the current speed traps in Leipzig!
On November 14, 2025, monitoring road traffic in Leipzig will be a central topic. Loud [news.de]. Speed checks were carried out at seven points on November 13, 2025. These measures are part of regular traffic controls aimed at increasing safety on the roads.
The inspection took place in the districts of Südvorstadt, Neustadt-Neuschönefeld, Zentrum-Nordwest and Volkmarsdorf, among others. The speed cameras were at the following locations:
- Fockestraße (04275 Süd, Südvorstadt): 30 km/h, gemeldet um 19:41 Uhr.
- Hermann-Liebmann-Straße (04315 Ost, Neustadt-Neuschönefeld): 30 km/h, gemeldet um 19:18 Uhr.

Regulations and security
The speed checks are carried out by German authorities such as the police and public order offices. The Bussgeldkatalog regulates the fines that are documented in Flensburg as well as possible driving bans. The aim of these measures is to ensure road safety for all participants – be they cars, trucks, bicycles or pedestrians.
The cost of speeding violations varies depending on the violation, and there are two types of speed cameras: mobile and fixed. Mobile speed cameras offer the advantage of flexibility and can be set up in different locations. Despite a trend towards mobile devices, there are efforts to make greater use of stationary speed cameras.
Current developments
The issue of traffic controls is also important in the broader discussion about traffic safety and regulations. The use of new technologies such as section controls, such as those being tested in Lower Saxony as part of a pilot project since 2015, is repeatedly discussed. Such measures help measure the average speed over a given route, which contributes to safety on the roads.
In Leipzig, raising citizens' awareness of traffic rules and speed limits is of great importance. In order to optimally prepare for journeys within the city, the speed camera map can be consulted at bussgeldkatalog.org. This not only shows stationary speed measuring devices, but also mobile speed traps and is continuously updated.
Finally, it should be emphasized that road safety and the associated controls are indispensable in order to minimize the risks in road traffic and protect the well-being of all participants.
